In 1904 Texas Ranger Luke Palmer arrives in Brenham, Texas, with one goal - to capture the gang of outlaws led by Frank Comer.

But instead of sighting a painted bunting, her opera glasses capture her telephone man, armed and far away from telephone lines. Palmer is forced to take this alluring troublemaker into his confidence . . .
